Product Information
Full details
The Mascot Advanced Thermal Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable warmth and freedom of movement in their workwear. Its key benefit is the CLIMascot Lightweight Insulation, which provides excellent thermal protection without adding bulk, making it ideal for layering or active use. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, best suited for environments where its water-repellent and insulating properties are most beneficial. This jacket features a water-repellent exterior, high collar, secure zip pockets, and reflective elements for visibility.

FAQs
What makes the CLIMascot insulation unique?
CLIMascot insulation is exceptionally lightweight and soft. It provides warmth without adding bulk, and it takes up very little space when compressed, making it ideal for layering or packing.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain or moisture. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How do I ensure the best fit for movement?
The jacket features ergonomic sleeves and stretch fabric at the sides for freedom of movement. Ensure you select your correct size. The adjustable drawstring at the waist also allows for a personalized fit.
Can this jacket be used as an outer layer in cold weather?
Yes, it can serve as an outer layer in moderately cold conditions. For very cold weather, it is designed to be an effective insulating mid-layer beneath a waterproof or windproof outer shell.
What are the care instructions for this jacket?
The jacket should be washed with coloured wash at 40°C. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry-clean.
Are the reflective elements effective in all lighting conditions?
Reflective elements enhance visibility in low-light conditions, such as dusk or dawn, or in dimly lit work environments. They are not a substitute for active lighting in complete darkness.
What is the fabric weight of the jacket?
The fabric weight is 240 g/m², contributing to its durability and thermal properties without excessive bulk.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels restrictive during movement.
Ensure the size is correct. The stretch fabric at the sides and ergonomic sleeves are designed for movement, but an incorrect size can impede this.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The water-repellent finish may diminish over time. Consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for polyester fabrics after washing, following the product's care instructions.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any caught material. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can help, applied sparingly to the teeth.
Jacket is not warm enough.
This jacket is designed for warmth without bulk and may function best as a layering piece. For colder conditions, consider wearing a warmer base layer underneath or a heavier outer shell over this jacket.
